THE Naive ME

part 32

Dineo

******

Days went by I was able to live with the fact that I can't have babies somehow I slowly accepted even though it was hard. I went back to Polokwane that was after the phone call I received from Germain telling me that everyone is back so I had to go back also, but before I could go home they had a meetings they requested my aunt's contact and the address to my surprise Clara had that already planned we went to visit the house of the lady that will play the auntie's part we call her Aunt flora, lady was mid 40's she seemed too soft, she's the opposite of my Aunt, Clara gave her the procedure just after she named her price and the deal was that she will take half of the lobola. Germain's parents went to Aunt flora's place, they were very impressed by how she welcomed them, they said she gave them warm welcome they even say she's good-hearted. So the negotiations will continue after two weeks as Aunt flora promised them that the feedback from the letter sends for request in marriage will be given during the week that will be where they will recruit elderly for negotiate, Germain's mother believes that the sudden change on moods in Germain are the signs of pregnancy that leads me to wonder who the fuck did he impregnate. I did follow-ups on katleho but I couldn't get any information cause she's nowhere to be found I just hope she could stay where ever she is ever since she's out of the picture.

The day of negotiations finally came that's the day I have been waiting for I was so excited at the same time I prayed that everything could go well just like how its planned, I left to Aunt flora's house last night, being in that place was really awkward because am not familiar with the place but then I was forced by the situation. I was wearing the traditional attire, waiting in the bedroom that I assume it should be Aunt's bedroom waiting to be called.
All along I was with Clara busy pacing up and down around the room.

Clara: stop stressing Dineo everything  will go well

Dineo: what if something came up and they suspects that she's not my real Aunt

Clara: stop worrying about that one, they were really convinced in their first meeting

Dineo: but..

Clara: stop it Dineo stop overthinking things

Dineo: what if they have disagreement over something and they decide to cut everything out

Clara: Dineo you are boring me now really!!

Dineo: (she said that going out) you can't leave me alone here

Clara: you will be better that way

I called Germain just to check up on him today he was in a better mood I don't know is it because he is kinda excited about the negotiations or maybe he is somehow learning how to love me, he answered after the third ring

Germain: Mrs. Kgasago to be

Dineo: (i laughed at the idea of Mrs. Kgasago ) Ey baby Is everything  okay

Germain: yes everything is going well even though your family doesn't  have mercy on me they want to dry my pockets

Dineo: how much did they request

Germain: it doesn't matter am just happy that now you are about to be Mrs. Kgasago Officially

Dineo: you seem excited about the whole situation

Germain: yah it was about time for me to let my past be the past and put a focus on you and the baby that I cant wait to meet..i still can't believe  am going to be a father I know I never thought things like this could  happen soon but then what can I say I had to let everything sink in so life goes on

Dineo: wow baby I like what I hear

Germain: stop stressing be prepared  I want to see you tonight

Dineo: ill be there in your room on my sexy lingeries plus you know you can't resist that

Germain: its weird in how am suffering  from morning sickness while you busy enjoying and not gaining a little weight

Dineo: ha ha ha the right time will come

Germain: am waiting for that moment

Dineo: you might not like me

Germain: no that won't happen

Dineo: Really?

There's  a knock coming  through the door, it was Clara

Clara: Dineo it is your turn

Dineo: (She said that getting in I was excited and nervous at the same time). Germain, we will talk soon I love you ( i didn't wait for his reply I just dropped my phone and go to the Mirror to check if everything is still on place after I  then went to where the negotiations were held, they were four (4) people from Germain's side plus his father and on my side, they were only three, two women and one old man that I claim he is my father's brother, you know what I mean. I send my greetings to everyone

Dineo: my greetings to everyone
(Everybody went quite I aroused my head cause all along I was facing down to see what's going on)

Aunt flora: (Dineo o tseba batho ba) do you know these people?

Dineo: ofcause I do, they are my inlaws ( one of those men cleared  his throat)

Gentle: you can't expect us to pay that amount of money for this disrespectful little girl, she came here and didn't give proper greetings not forgetting the fact that she's even using English to the elderly, she's not well taught ..

Aunt flora: Am sorry but if you feel like she's not enough  for your son then you can leave

Gentleman: its better that way

Daddy: with all due to respect people remember this is not about us, I can say we are all settle in our family as we are having kids so now is about us to make this work for their brighter future after all its love and love is a beautiful thing we weren't  there when they do things we don't know what is it that kept them together to reach this level so lets give them a chance

Gentleman: I can't let Germain have her she is not wife material all she will do is to add baggage to Germain. just look at her, nothing on her is real she covered her face with makeup even fake nails, she couldn't at least respect the day and be natural for just once, believe me, Hendrick you selling your son to..

Daddy: stop it Patrick I still wonder what do you want here

Dineo: I am sorry sir but you can't just be judging me for my looks, I ... (Aunt Flora intruded)

Aunt flora: Dineo please go back to your room (with that words I was broken really broken I felt tears burning to my eyes, when I get to the room I just sitted processing everything that happened with Clara busy asking me endless questions plus the fact that they were endless lots of noise. I just knew it, I knew very well that the negotiations have failed he's never going to be mine.
